Flanagan has just said that Gallen will play. He'll do everything to make sure that he's right. He's aware of the injury as he's done it before apparently.

Nonetheless, and based on Kaufusi's performance last week, we need to be sending him out Gallen's way to test him out hard!

If we play the Sharks this grubby yappy piece of s*** will cost us the game

Damn right.
Gotta real feel for Blair.
He's the one who got us to next week and he's going to miss out in all probability.
It'l be Chambers - trotting out his usual shit brand of football.
One of the great mysteries in life - how this bloke get picked for not only his team, but his state AND country.

He's been kissed on the dick, this guy.
Pfft.
Hey whether you like it or not, whether you like Chambers or not, he is still one of the best centres in the game. Sure this year hasn’t been his best but he’s still a much better centre then Blair, it’s not even close. Blair doesn’t deserve to be there ahead of Chambers or Scott just because he had 2 tries handed to him last week. Apart from those two tries Blair has been absolutely shithouse this year when he’s came in

Last year he got a pass mark. His 2016 and 2018 seasons have been largely, rubbish. This is a guy living on past glories, ‘cos he’s a decidedly ordinary player these days.

I am very confident. Sharks are done.

Pressure Townsend all night. Kaufusi to hammer him to the ground at every opportunity. NAS to run riot.

I wonder if we do anything different. Can't continue to allow them to just monster our key players game after game.

Similar game plan as for Souths - stand up to Sharks pack especially Fifita and hammer the playmakers. Both are handy but Moylan has the X factor and worth a few heavy and legal early hits...

Need to watch Holmes out the back. Probably the sharks main danger man...

Don’t overplay our hand, aim to be mistake free and space/breaks will come..

I agree totally with SSC on this one. We have often suffered when we play Cronulla for they have a tendency to drag us down to their level and not play our own game. Winning the battle of the forwards means Moylan and Townsend don't have the time to make their more damaging plays, therefore, stopping quick ball to Holmes. Timmy G has always been good on Fifita and I'm sure there's absolutely no doubt that Gallen and Lewis will miss the game. I look forward to Felise and the big NASty to introducing themselves early in the game.

While all the focus is on Gallen, Fifita, Holmes, Townsend etc, and rightly so, I reckon someone we can’t overlook is Jayson Bukuya. A very underrated player that can be very damaging for them. Some of his runs last night were massive

True. Ramien also has been strong out on the edge.
